Pros & Cons
Kagi
- Genuinely ad-free search results since revenue comes from subscriptions, not advertising
- No annual lock-in — billing is monthly at every tier
- Free trial (100 searches) allows testing before subscribing
- Starter tier’s 300 searches/month cap requires upgrading for regular heavy use
- Subscription cost is a real ongoing expense compared to free ad-supported search engines
- Premium LLM model access requires the highest-priced Ultimate tier
Andi Search
- Faster to get a direct answer than scanning a traditional results page
- Supports conversational follow-up questions
- Provides citations for verifying synthesized answers
- Answer reliability depends entirely on the quality and transparency of cited sources
- Faces much better-funded competition from newer answer-engine products
- Best treated as a starting point rather than a final source for anything important
